APPLICATION SCOPE OF SUPPLY

The Ruston TB-5000 gas turbine gen set application control
®
The application control package for the Ruston TB-5000® gas
package replaces older mechanical/hydraulic/electronic/pneumatic turbine generator drive system, includes:
gas turbine fuel regulators with a modern, reliable application
Analog inputs, 4-20 mA:
